United BioSource Corp. bought Lexington, Mass.-based life sciences consultancy Abt Bio-Pharma Solutions Inc. for an undisclosed amount.
The Abt Associates subsidiary provides health economics and outcomes research, registries and observational studies and market access solutions to the medical device, biopharmaceutical and diagnostics industries.
Bethesda, Md.-based UBC said the buyout is part of a long-term strategy to broaden its portfolio and gives it "the largest presence and operational reach in the New England biomedical corridor," according to a press release.
